According to the prosecution, on June 5–6, 2021, after a party, Mikita and his acquaintances put up stickers and leaflets around Chachersk. On August 9, 2021, he was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility, and a few days later he was released on a written undertaking not to leave. On December 28 of the same year, Mikita was taken into custody.
In March 2022, Mikita was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the articles "Organisation and preparation of actions grossly violating public order, or active participation in them" and "Desecration of buildings and damage to property" and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.
According to human rights defenders' calculations, he was released in October 2023, after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
